For about a year and a half I just kept picking up cheap parts that were on sale, or that had good rebates to slowly make my own personal cluster at home to do research stuff. Alot of the times the CPUs are idle though, so I threw them to Einstein.

Just completed my first .06 wu on a P4 2.6 running FC3. My processing time has dropped from 41,300 to 30,000 seconds, so well done Bernd.
One thing I noticed was that when I ran it the first time it tried to start the screensaver and failed. This isn't really a problem but looking at the reported result today I see,
core_client_version 4.72
Detected CPU type 1
GLUT: Fatal Error in screensaver: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display: :0.0
Fstats.Ha: bytecount 1704401 checksum 81683786
Fstats.Hb: bytecount 1458340 checksum 69897683
Which is odd since it runs OpenGL (Nvidia) apps just fine otherwise.

That's a bit odd indeed. Which other Apps are you running (correctly)? Are you sure they use the GLX extension, or might they just interface the hardware?

Run xdpyinfo and look at the extensions.

False alarm, I have done some checking and it looks like OGL support is broken since I last updated the kernel and Nvidia driver. Thanks for the quick reply.
We are about to make the 0.06 Beta test App the default official one for the Linux platform in the next days. Please show up if you think this is a mistake!

very nice
tonight, I'll check it against wine

With an old, slow processor (AMD-K6 350 mHz, sorry...) and kernel 2.4.26 (Slackware) 0.06 seems to be about 15 percent faster than 4.80.

There is absolutely no need to feel sorry.
Good to know that this works as expected on non-SSE machines.
Thanks a lot for the report!
